Elena and I were currently in her bedroom and it was raining. I had decided that I would stay over.

"I love storms." I told her.

"Is it because of the lack of sunlight?" She asked.

"Well that is a part of it, but I also love the sound of running water." I answered.

"So did you kiss me because you wanted to date or something?" She questioned.

"Yes. I like you, Elena. I'm not supposed to, but I do." She replied.

"Because I'm a girl?" She responded.

"Because you're a Gilbert." I corrected. "My mom doesn't know that I like girls, but she would definitely be more upset about your last name than she would of your gender. She is still holding a bit of a grudge. So what about you? Do you want to date me?"

"Well I've never been on a date with a girl before." She stated. I looked at her. "Okay, so last night was my first. I just don't know what I'm feeling for you right now."

"Do you want to find out?" I asked as I got closer.

"I guess so." She remarked. "I don't have to have sex with you, do I?"

"No, we can wait until you're ready for that, if you ever are." I replied. "Maybe it would be best for us just to get some sleep right now."

"Do you need something to wear to bed?" She asked.

"I was probably just going to sleep in my underwear if that's alright with you." I told her as I started to take my dress off.

"Let me lock the door." She replied before she got up. I wasn't sure why but then I figured that she didn't want her brother or aunt to walk in on us in bed together, even it was innocent.

In the morning, I woke up to the sound of Elena's phone going off.

"Hello?" She answered.

"I need to talk to you." Stefan remarked.

"Okay, we're talking." Elena said.

"Can you come over?" He requested.

"Can you please just tell me over the phone?" Elena replied.

"The tomb vampires got out and two of them attacked us last night." Stefan explained. I had a good idea which two. "We managed to kill one of them."

"Do you need me to do anything?" Elena asked.

"No, we're working on it." Stefan replied. "You can stay at home."

Elena then hung up and looked at me.

"Did you know about this?" She asked me.

"Would you be mad if I said yes?" I questioned with a blush. "They're kind of living with me, but I didn't know that they were going to attack and it wasn't even my idea. It was my mom's to let them out. I seriously wanted it to just be the two of us. Please don't be mad at me."

"You had nothing to do with letting them out?" She asked. I nodded. "And you had nothing to do with them attacking Stefan?"

I nodded again.

"Then I guess it's not your fault." She replied. "I just want to know why you didn't think to tell me sooner."

"Because I thought you would be mad at me." I stated. "I knew you were still getting over the whole kidnapping thing and I didn't want to make you angry."

"Didn't you think I would be angry when I found out?" She questioned.

"I wanted to keep it off as long as possible." I admitted. "I'm sorry."

"We have to do something about this." Elena stated. "Do you think you could talk to your mom about it?"

"I could try, but I don't know if she'll listen." I replied. "I'll talk to her about it later. We should do something together today."

"What do you want to do?" She responded as she started to get dressed.

"I think we could go to the Grill and get some lunch." I suggested before I realized a problem. "I probably should have brought a change of clothes."

"You can borrow something else of mine." She replied as she put on a Russian blue sweater and black jeans. "Now let's see if we can find something for you to wear."

She went into her closet and pulled out a white long-sleeved dress with a pleated skirt with a black hem.

"You can pair it with some knee socks and a nice scarf." She suggested.

"Sure, why not?" I replied. I would definitely need to get used to Elena's sense of style. She didn't have a lot of girly clothes and not a lot of dark clothes either. "Let's just go to lunch."

Once we got to the Grill, I texted my mom. She said that it would be okay for me to out for a little bit and I would meet her later.

"So I'm not meeting my mom until later, so we have a little bit of time for a date." I responded. "Just FYI, I'm not introducing you as my girlfriend."

"So what are we going to do?" She asked.

"Well, we're going to start with how I think a date should start." I replied. "We're going to eat."

We headed to a table and sat down. I decided to order some ribs. The thing that I liked most about living in the South was the ribs. There was basically no food on Earth that was better than barbecue and I could say that as someone who had tried most of the food on Earth.

"You know I never pegged you as a barbecue kind of girl." She admitted.

"What kind of food did you think that I ate?" I questioned.

"I kind of expected you to be a vegan or something." She replied.

"Ew, no." I responded. "Humans were meant to eat meat. I grew up eating meat and I cannot understand how someone can just reject their nature just because they don't like the idea of animals being killed. That's one of the principles of natural selection."

"Okay." She remarked.

"Sorry for the rant, but I really don't like vegetarians." I explained. "So you ordered the chicken parmesan, right?"

"Yeah, it's kind of my favorite." She replied. "Stefan made some for me one time."

"Well I could probably make some for you some time too." I offered.

"Are all vampires good cooks?" She asks.

"No, but when you're moving around a lot, sometimes you want to learn a skill and I thought cooking would be a good idea. I can also make authentic Chinese dishes. Did you know most Chinese food was invented by Americans?"

"I think I did hear that." Elena replied. "So by authentic Chinese dishes, do you mean, you know…dogs?"

"No." I replied. "I can prepare all sorts of different kinds of rice and noodles, though."

"I think I'd rather have some of your cultural food instead." She stated. "So were you born in China?"

"I already told you that I was born in England." I responded. "My mother was a concubine. I told you this the day that we met."

"I blacked out a lot of that day." She reminded. Yes, she had drank a lot, so I could forgive her.

"So have you ever been attracted to a girl before?" I decided to ask her.

"Well there this one time at a sleepover with Caroline and we kissed, but that was just a tiny crush." She answered.

"Well I hope I'm not just a tiny crush." I teased her with a smile.

"No, you're something else. I just don't know what yet." She replied. Before I could say anything, Damon walked in.

"What are you doing here?" Elena asked him.

"You've been avoiding me. Why are you here with her? Are you on a date or something?" He responded with a grin.

"Yes, so tell me what you want." Elena demanded.

"Have you seen Stefan? I've tried to call him and he won't answer." Damon explained. That was a bit odd. Elena took out her phone and called him.

"Straight to voicemail." Elena remarked. I had a bad feeling about that. "Where could he be?"

"I bet your girlfriend knows." Damon replied.

"Look, I don't want to leave now." I stated. I handed him a sheet of paper. "Here's my address. Go there."

I hoped that I wouldn't have to get involved in some kind of rescue mission. I didn't feel strongly one way or the other about Stefan, but I was pretty sure Elena wouldn't want him to die.

Damon left and I was left with Elena.

"Do you really think that they took him?" She asked.

"I don't know." I admitted. "I do know that if they did, they would probably want him to suffer."

"You did know that man from last night, didn't you?" She responded.

"I can't be sure because I didn't see him, but I'm pretty sure his name is Frederick." I declared. "He never should have gotten out of the tomb and he wants revenge."

"You really should have told me about this stuff." She stated.

"Like I said, I was afraid you would be mad." I pointed out.

"Well I am." She remarked. "These people could kill Stefan,"

"I know and I'll do whatever I can to…" I said before I noticed my mom had walked in. "So you end with a right and that is how you get to Applebee's."

I walked away and Elena looked confused and I decided to text her saying that my mom was there. At that point, Damon came to take her away. I was sad our date was cut short.

I didn't really have much of a chance to talk to my mother because she was busy talking to Mayor Lockwood. She was flirting with him to get information and he was buying into it. It was kind of gross considering that he was married. Elena wasn't answering my texts either. I was bored. I couldn't even sneak away from the restaurant to help her with whatever she needed help with because she was keeping a close eye on me. I finally went to the bathroom because her constant looking over was freaking me out a little.

I was washing my hands when she came in and I saw a stern look on her face. She was pissed about something. She seemed to be pissed at me. I could only imagine why. I gulped.

"Elena Gilbert?" She asked angrily. "After everything that happened, you are making eyes at Elena Gilbert, who is not only a girl, but a Gilbert. Her family put me in that tomb."

"That doesn't mean that she'll make the same choices." I pointed out.

"When she finds out what you are…" She started before I decided to cut her off. She was so jaded.

"She does know." I explained. "She knows what I am, about the tomb, the Salvatores, even that fed you her blood and she still likes me. She likes me and wants to be with me."

I didn't know if that was entirely true, but it sounded better that way. Then she did something that surprised me. She slapped me. I grabbed my cheek in pain.

She then grabbed my hand and we walked out the door. I knew that I was in trouble. I needed some kind of distraction prevent her from punishing me and trying to take away my daylight ring.

Fortunately, I got one, we found a group of vampires huddled outside the house.

"What is going on here?" Mom asked. We then went inside the house and saw several vampire bodies with Damon and Mr. Saltzman inside. "What have you done?"

"What have I done?" Damon challenged. "Your friends attacked us and kidnapped my brother. This arrangement we have isn't going to work if you can't keep your team of vampires in check."

That night, I decided to visit Elena to see if she was okay. I also felt like I needed to apologize to her. She jumped again when she saw me.

"Why can't you just come in through the front door?" She asked as she grabbed her chest.

"I needed to talk to you." I admitted. "I'm really sorry for bailing on you. I was right. My mom hates you without ever even meeting you. The thing is her feelings about you don't change the way that I feel about you. In fact, she made me realize that I love you Elena."

So Anna was not to help save Stefan because she was busy having a confrontation with her mother but she does love Elena who is at least trying. Please don't forget to review.
